A s around hi the road in front of him and a little bit past the treeline It wasn'tat hienerally safe, or at the very least ht Besides a few scary noises deeper into the forest, nothing see, Merlin could see the lights of town in the distance
He heard the sound of growling co his head he saounded wolf li towards hiht flew out of the treeline, hitting the wolf in the back and killing it
"I got it!" Merlin heard the excited voice of a girl, and moments later three people ran out fro as their eyes all collectively locked onto Merlin
They were all wearing beginner clothes, and it see tutorial weapons All three of the group oinner's wand The next one was using a bow and the last one had a sword and shi+eld that differed in design to Merlin's old trusted partner
Contrary to what ht at first, you didn't require a spell-caster or ic related soul to use wands Rather they were just tools that channelled your body's mana into the wand's core, and it was the core that converted yourspell This core was usually a refined em that had been infused with some kind of raw elemental mana or imbued with a spell, but it could also be a ic, such as the feather of a phoenix or unicorn hair
The beginner wand that the woic stone that had been infused with the light element
"Hi there I mean no harm" Merlin took a few steps away fro backwards towards town He didn't want to get into another fight, and he especially didn't want to make more enemies where he could help it "Nice shot by the way"
The wo that Merlin was slowly backing away, they lowered their guard Eventually when Merlin thought he was a safe enough distance froht bolt to the back, he turned around and continued on his way to the town
Instead of going through the western gate, he slipped into the treeline before he reached the wide open plains and h the forest around to the northern side of tohere he originally left from

「You have completed the quest, "Mysterious Letter", rewards have been delivered」
「You have earned +5 familiarity with the Leader of the Thieves Guild」
He was a little curious as to what the letter said, but knowing the eccentric character of the thieves guild leader, he kneas going to be fun, or catastrophic, but mostly fun
He continued on his way to thearound the town on their own adventures He started slowing down as he caate and Lychester's Provisions, he was looking around and taking in more information as he walked, but it just see, barely anybody was talking about the suspected cause of the two tragic events
MerlinSpider bar, houild The familiar stench of tobacco and stale alcohol flooded his senses He received a few greetings as he made his way towards the counter, the bartender was there as usual
"No shi+eld?" The bartender asked after glancing at hihed, "On that note, you wouldn't happen to have a quest or two that needed wolf pelt or fangs, would you?"
